DISC Program Mission

NumFOCUS recognizes that the open source data science community is currently highly homogenous. We believe that diverse contributors and community members produce better science and better projects. NumFOCUS strives to help create a more diverse community through initiatives and programming devoted to increasing participation by and inclusion of underrepresented people.

NumFOCUS Diversity Statement

NumFOCUS welcomes and encourages participation in our community by people of all backgrounds and identities. We are committed to promoting and sustaining a culture that values mutual respect, tolerance, and learning, and we work together as a community to help each other live out these values.

For a more detailed explication of NumFOCUS’s position on diversity in the community, see the Diversity Appendix.

The DISC program is funded in part by a generous grant from the Moore Foundation.

DISC Committee

The NumFOCUS DISC Program is led by Gina Helfrich, Program Manager for Diversity & Inclusion, and advised by the DISC Committee.

Code of Conduct

As an avid user of the NumFOCUS supported projects, donating is a win-win proposition for me! My favorite tools are able to remain active open source projects that continue to improve and evolve to fit modern problems.
